They should be motorola 603e's (production BeBoxen). Funny that Be used the 603 vs. the 604 series, as the cache coherency protocol in the 603 was only 3-way (MEI - AFAIR), vs. 4-way for the 604 (MESI).
Why not block 99.9% of spam coming off those boxes by blocking all port 25 traffic on that box if it exceeds a certain level of activity?
I know that legitimate users will gripe, but why not have a sign up database somewhere that allows those people to run a legitimate mail server, with a three strikes and you're out rule for spam complaints.
I remember reading about this idea in the Lockheed Martin Skunkworks book. They were discussing a simulation of dynamic skinning so they could make anything fly. They had a statue of liberty on their terminal developing lift.
Hmmm, judging by all the replies it's the usual slashdot didn't rtfa. That's OK, since the article is junk. No stats, nothing but saying people went to the same terminals even if there's a lineup for a particular one.
It didn't bother to ask if the position of the terminal in the room made any difference, or if they marked the terminals and then moved them around to see if people followed them. I remember going to one or two terminals in University because they gave me a little more privacy, less people to shoulder surf me so I could check my mail or view pr0n or whatever I wanted.
It gets better than that. Just imagine a honeypot connection for people who don't port knock. That way there is a better measure of security through obscurity since non-port knockers believe that they're actually getting through the systems' defense layers.

Dude, I actually got two cheques from All-Advantage before they went down...
A simple fix from Apple. Just force every application that is 'first-run' to create a "preference" file or log file that forces the user to enter an admin password. Of course there should be an obligatory warning, but that would eliminate all trojans that pose as files. Still nothing much would be done about malicious apps though.
There has to an incentive for them to pursue it. The problem with a linux based game is that the developers are not necessarily lazy, but will take the path of least resistance to highest profits. That means most of them will stay with windows because they know that most x86 users will have that installed.
This means linux (as a whole) must play to their strengths and minimize their weaknesses.
1. ATI and nvidia must have drivers released that will work properly. 2. A DirectX port or OpenGL2 would also accelerate development. 3. Since Linux can be updated and supports more advancements more quickly than windows, push that to developers. If Athlon's 64-bit processing power can be utilized, ship a knoppix-like distro that takes advantage of it. Nothing like making the claim that their game performs X% better by using linux and amd 64bit mode than by using XP. Getting the NTFS partition loader automagically to install would be a boon to write/cache saves and game updates.
4. Brain dead consumer land installs. Knoppix is even easier to install than windows;). If you built a disc that booted straight into the game, or it would take over an XP box and unload the OS, you've built a back door into linux installs. Kind of reverses the way of looking at the installed base.
I'm probably missing alot here, but I think them's the basics as I see it.
Yes, I'm surprised everyone's making a fuss about it. We've carried it when we had 32 staff, and we still carry it now that we're down to 3 (full timers). It was 12k for the full load, and now it's under 4k (all CDN).
We've done work for IBM and other large institutions and all of our contracts with our clients carry indemnification and insurance and other liability clauses. It's just the normal course of business.
It's also a bad idea since there are many databases to be compromised. The government will have to make sure that everyone on the 'approved' list will be the only ones who have access to it, and it will be much more complicated to get a clean up to the moment audit trail for it.
It also lends the possibility that the data can be corrupted by injecting false or spurious data into one host and everyone syncing up to/with it.
Neither of these problems are insurmountable, but they should be examined carefully.
The difference is that it's a levy in Canada. Which means the retailer foots the bill for collecting and remitting $25 it collected from your iPod sale, not Apple.
you'd better choose your 25 albums carefully or you may only have 25 songs out of 300 that you like. the itunes way gives you 360 songs you specifically chose to buy.
The 68000 has been 32 bit addressing from the beginning with a 16-bit bus, but the Mac system was 24-bit addressing in the beginning. The system wasn't 32-bit compliant until the high system 7's. Remember Connectix used to have a 32-bit init/cdev that cleaned things up for ill behaved apps? That's because the unused 8 bits were padded by developers looking eke out every bit of performance out of the 68k series. That and self modifying code were the legacies that plagued mac software compatability as they moved from 68000 -> 68040 (eventually).
In Alberta (don't know about the rest of Canada), you can just drop off your used oil from a do-it-yourself oil change at any place that professionally does it for free.
I had an executive series for my powerbook in 93. In 95 I was carrying about 80 pounds of change for my bar when the handle tore a bit from the main partition of the bag. I never bothered to call them about it until 97, when they said send it in and we'll take a look at it to see if we can repair it or replace it.
Well, they replaced it with a brand new unit that had more advanced features in the 4 years that I owned it. For free I might add. They really honoured the lifetime warranty. Too bad the ex took it with her when we broke up.:(
I know that what you said was intended as a joke, but I think that the idea of chucking rocks from space at the earth will be a big reason for [other] paranoid countries to veto space mining.
Not everything goes towards improving the destructive force of the warhead.
Simulating the explosive force and shape of an aging stockpile, as well as the manner in which the warheads are stored requires some serious computing.

it worked for SCO...erm, nevermind.

They should also shoot themselves in the head for believing the installer or binary for any MS Office product could be 108kB in size.
If you're tired of free textbooks, how about some sciencefiction for free?

This is an obvious troll.
No nerd or geek can have a wife, so it must be made up.
OK, I'm going back to my parent's basement now.
They did. It's called the Excursion.

That would be an evolution of this:l

Your comment reminds me of the ST:TOS episode where Spock had the goatee.
Have you tried verifying your keychain to make sure it's not corrupted?

I'll second that targus recommendation.
